\"OPPOPP mislead by 911 call from teen who claimed he had been kidnapped Saturday. (CBC)<\/p>\n

All Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW have been reopened after emergency crews responded to a vehicle fire Tuesday morning, the OPP Highway Safety Division said.<\/p>\n

All lanes were closed just before the Burlington Skyway shortly after 7 a.m. because of a collision involving two-passenger vehicles that resulted in a fire, police said. <\/p>\n

At about 7:40 a.m., the OPP posted that one right lane of the highway was open.<\/p>\n

At 7 a.m. police said there were no serious injuries as a result of the collision. <\/p>\n
